Angelica POV
Its dark here, has been for the past 17 years.
My mother died due to a rougue attack when I was 2 and my father and big sister blamed me all because I couldn't get to the safe room in time.
Im Angelica and I turned 19 yesterday but because of that; my father (if you could call him that) came down and gave me one of the biggest beatings I've had.
I have scars all over my body, but luckily only one on my face even if its big, it goes from the top of my left eyebrow all the way to my right shoulder.
I once tried escaping the shack but that's how I got the scar on my face.
I heard from passers by that the Lycan King will be visiting our pack looking for his mate; apparently he's 124 and STILL hasn't found her, our Queen.
As i was thinking about whats happing outside of this dirty shack I heard thundering footsteps coming down the hallway no doubt belonging to my father; I moved as fast as I could to the darkest corner of this little room.
"Y'know your pure white hair and eye stop you from blending into the dark, little bird" as he said that I involuntarily shivered.
" I-I- I know sir" if only I didn't stutter at every sentence.
"Listen here and listen close birdy, the lycan king is is on his way to our pack to look for his mate which im sure is your sister. But as normal you will not leave your room unless I come and tell you personally that you can ... Understood?"
" O-of c-course sir-r" stupid stuttering
"Good, now if you do; your back will be even more messed up than it already is, now that silver works on you I should try out my new silver whip, ill bring it next time just for you to see how beautiful it is"
I could here his footsteps becoming weaker meaning he was leaving the shack so I took the chance to talk to my wolf, shadow who is full black other than her one white eye and one amber eye, the only thing we have in common.
Shay are you alright?
Im fine gel, you shouldn't let him talk to you like that, and treat you so horribly!
It will be ok, after the Lycan King mates Victoria our father should move to the castle, and he wouldn't be caught dead abusing us.
You better be right about this Gel, otherwise we will end up feral; I can't take this any longer.
She shut me out my own wolf shut me out, at least ill have time to gather my thoughts... hopefully
Dominic POV
"Alpha?" Kian my beta and best friend walks into my office looking more stressed than normal.
"You good there Kian you look like your about to birth a pup?"
"Alpha, the council is saying that is you don't find your mate at the next pack then you will either have to take a chosen luna or pass the throne down to your little brother."
As soon as he said alpha again I knew it would be official business, but I didn't expect... THIS
"the council said WHAT!?!"
"t-t-they said that if you don't find her really soon your w-w-wolf will start becoming f-feral."
"Leave"
"Yes Alpha"
Can you belive this Iroe? The council trying to take our destined mate from us.
Dom, WE NEED OUR MATE, IF YOU TAKE ONE OF THOSE DESPERATE SHE WOLVES AS YOUR CHOSEN...I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF!!!
I would never... ever take another wolf that wasn't destined to us I promise you this Iroe, even if we have to step down from the throne after 100 years.
Good..
And he shut me out... I'm Dominic the Lycan King, I turn 125 in 2 weeks which is why the council is so desperate about me finding my mate or taking a chosen. This is the only pack I haven't been to this year Dark Moon, they have decided to have a ball for my arrival, if my mate is there the ball will be fantastic but if she's not I'll head back to my room with Kian for a drink. Were leaving tomorrow morning so we'll have 2 hours to settle in before the ball.
I guess I'll get some sleep.
As I'm walking upstairs a slutty she wolf falls at my feet, attempting to catch my attention she asks if I can help her up. I ignored her and continued to walk up the stairs to my floor.
The Next Morning 7 am
Kian and I get into the middle of 5 SUVs and start this 9 hour journey.
Kian and I start the trip by discussing pack matters and borders making sure not to cross any other packs on the way to Dark Moon. Almost half way into the trip Kian nods off and Iroe my wolf comes out of his sulking corner in my mind.
Dom, I feel funny. Its like a good funny but also fidgety.
I can feel that your fidgety Roe.
Yeah... I guess
Then he went back into his sulking corner of my mind...great
I try to fall asleep but Roe keeps fidgeting keeping me awake... this is going to be a long journey.
Finally we arrive at Dark Moon and Kian steps out of the car first to make sure everything is safe. As I leave the car it looks like the whole pack is here, so I get Roe to use his senses to see if he can smell our mate through all these wolves.
I can't smell her Dom, she's not here.
It's ok Roe, we'll find her.
After greeting the Alpha and being taken to our rooms me a Kian start getting ready for this little ball they put together for me.
"Nik, is she here; did you find our queen"
"She's not here Kian, we'll go to the ball and leave early in the morning, k?"
"Sorry Nik, of course well leave in the morning if thats what you need"
After two painfully long hours of getting ready, Kian, my guards and I head down to the ballroom. As I enter everyone bows down, I move over to the Alpha firstly thanking him for this "lovely " event then slowly moving into the topic of his pack members ultimately asking,
"Are these all your pack members"
"I believe so, everyone wanted to meet and see what the Lycan King looked like."
"Mmmmm"
After that question I answered a few of his then excused myself for some fresh air.
As I stepped outside a woman came up to me with the most sickeningly strong perfume.
"My King its a pleasure to meet you, my father is the beta of Dark Moon so our alpha asked me to come out and make sure everything was ok for you...by the way im Victoria." She said bowing, I put on my cold demeanour back on and told her "Everything is fine, you can go back inside" her jaw dropped, she probably believed that I would've fallen for her charms as im sure many wolves here would've, but I only want my mate.
"Nik that was brutal, you could've at least been a little nicer, the poor girl was shaking going back into the hall" Kian said as he came down the stairs from the building. "She'll be fine my mate is my mate and that woman definitely was not her."
